Lucia Cahoon Drake? Or is it Lucia Cohoon Drake? Or is it ---

Lucia Cahoon Drake


I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to figure out this old gal's last name.  These are the names that I've been working through:

Lucia Cahoon
Lucia Cohoon
Lucia Comoon
Lucia Cohoom
Lucia Cohone
Lucia Calhoun

This weekend I'll write down my research and how I determined that her last name is Cahoon.  Actually, I contacted a gentleman who is kind of the grand master of the Cahoon name and he told me that originally the name was Colquhoun.  And that is Scottish.  Which I will gladly claim.
